Our Story
Promoting long fulfilling lives for all.
What We Do
Sustainable Solutions
We provide sustainable solutions for communities to overcome barriers such as safety, access and other deep-rooted health challenges under-resourced communities face.
Holistic Approach
We are dedicated to a holistic approach that considers all aspects of community health and wellbeing, from physical infrastructure to social connections.
Community Engagement
We engage community influencers and stakeholders at every step to ensure lasting change that truly meets the needs of those we serve.
Our Mission
At Equity Design, we analyze and evaluate a community's current physical activity infrastructure to make it more inclusive, safe, and accessible. By collaborating with community stakeholders and leveraging data, we reimagine and redesign spaces to promote well-being and empowerment for everyone. Our goal is to create active environments that cater to the unique needs of each community and foster a sense of belonging and safety for all individuals, driving positive change through physical activity in underserved areas.
Join us in our mission to make physical activity accessible and enjoyable for all. Through our commitment to equity and understanding, we aim to create a healthier and more connected world. Whether through the design of policies to promote a sustainable all-inclusive programming, an intergenerational walking program, a student-centered design recess program or providing access to cycling and racing through open streets programming, we work hand in hand with community leaders, educators, and health organizations to drive change while building a healthy connection to physical activity.
Where Design meets Equity
At Equity Design, we see every initiative not just as a task, but as a chance to listen, share, and grow with the communities we serve. Here's how we ensure that every story we tell reflects the vibrant spirit and uniqueness of these communities:
Listening with Heart
We start by listening — really listening. When we come into a community, we're there to learn from the laughter of kids playing, the stories of older adults and generations, and the dreams of local business owners. We build our initiatives on this foundation of trust and respect, turning real-life moments into the driving force of our work.
Including Everyone
We make sure everyone has a spot at the table. Whether it's voices from the quieter parts of town or the bustling main streets, all perspectives matter. This diversity isn't just included; it's celebrated and made central to our narrative, ensuring everyone feels seen and heard.
Socially Conscious Advocacy
Equipped with a deeper understanding and a comprehensive, inclusive narrative, we turn words into action. We advocate for policies and initiatives that address the systemic inequities our communities face. Our projects don't just aim to redraw lines or redefine spaces; they strive to dismantle barriers and build bridges towards a more equitable society.
Respecting Data
While we back our stories with solid data, we always remember there are real people behind these numbers. We use data carefully and compassionately, making it a tool for enlightenment and empowerment, not just cold facts.
Inviting You to Join Us
We invite you on this journey to make a difference through storytelling and action. Together, we can turn individual experiences into collective progress toward healthier, more equitable communities. By staying true to our mission and embracing every story with empathy and respect, we contribute to a world where everyone's voice contributes to shaping their community.
